Hello. I upgraded from a 2100+ to a 3200+. I had a Globalwin copper heatsink. With it on the 3200+ I was getting 62 idle/75 peak gaming. Of course this was too hot. I was getting protection reboots. So after some searching I decided on the Thermaltake Silent Tower as a new sink. I mount this baby on using "thin layer" of articsilver 5. I am now getting 23c idle temps and 30c peak with high load. I've used prime95 and hot cpu to push the cpu.
I first would like to know if these new temps are accurate. I get about 20c in the bios and 23c reading from moptherboard Monitor 5. My mothreboard is an asus A7V8x deluxe rev. 2.0. So are these temp readings accurate. I believe they are because I run extremely stable now. I was just wondering if anyone else gets this kinda of performance with their cooling solution.
